The triple crown of cycling has been achieved by three men, Eddy Merckx in 1974, Stephen Roche in 1987 and Tadej Pogačar in 2024.
Despite the prestige and recognition of the achievement, the Triple Crown of cycling is not an official title, and there is no physical award given for its accomplishment.
In addition to Merckx, Roche, Pogacar and Van Vleuten who won the triple crown in a single season they are Fausto Coppi, Felice Gimondi and Bernard Hinault.
In women's cycling, the status of the Grand Tours is less established, and the races are considerably shorter..
While the Giro d'Italia Women was first held in 1988 and consistently since 1993, a full Tour de France Femmes was only launched in 2022 (though the Grande Boucle Féminine Internationale offered a female equivalent of the Tour from 1984-2009) and La Vuelta Femenina was only established in 2023.
